CONVENTION OF DEMOCRATS TO OPEN TONIGHT
Vice President Marshall Will Deliver Keynote Address To Nominate State Ticket. INDIANAPOLIS, June 18. With Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall to deliver the keynote address, and W. P, Hollister, acting chairman of the Democratic National committee, and Representative Scott Ferris of Oklahoma, chairman of the Democratic Congressional campaign committee, onlookers, the Democratic State convention, which meets here tonight and tomorrow, has taken on a national political importance, as was the case with the Republican state convention last month. The convention will adopt a platform and nominate a complete state ticket from Secretary of State down. This is an off-year for the election of governor and lieutenant governor, those two positions being four years offices. The convention will be one of the first held by the Democrats in the country this year and politicians are looking to the Indiana platform for a model for other states. This has been especially true since it became known
that Vice-President Marshall, the act
ing head of the national committee and chairman of the Congressional
campaign committee were to he present and probably will approve the platform before it goes to the convention. Democratic representatives in congress from Indiana have been invited to address the convention as will former U. S. Senator Thomas Taggart. The vice-president will be temporary chairman, and former governor Samuel M. Ralston, as permanent chairman of the convention will make a brief address, largely on state issues. Fred VanNuys, Democratic state chairman, says the convention will be a patriotic, war gathering and that "stand by the President" will be the keynote of the speeches and platform. Contests Are Expected. Some interesting contests for nominations are expected, while other places will be filled without opposition. It is generally believed that the present four judges of the Appellate court Judges Hottel, Felt, Caldwell and Ibach will be renominated by acclamation. With the withdrawal of Charles J. Orbison, of Indianapolis, the field practically is clear to Herman J. Conter, of Decatur, for the nomination for Secretary of State. Mr. Conter wan deputy under L. G. Ellingbam and Homer Cook, when they held office. Capt. William P. Gray of Covington,
prominent in the Unitorm Rank, K. or P., is an avowed candidate for the nomination for Auditor of State and the name of Thomas Meeker, an Indianapolis hotel man, also will be submitted to the convention, it is said. J. B. McCarthy, a merchant of Kempton, and C. D. Henke. former treasurer of Pike County, are announced candidates for the nomination of State Treasurer, and Thomas J. O'Connor, a Monticello banker is being urged to make the race. For state superintendent of public instruction, the name of John W. Cravens, registrar of Indiana University, probably will be submitted to the convention, along with Charles Terrill, of Marion, and T. F. Fitzgibbon, of Muncie. There are three avowed candidates for clerk of the supreme and apellate courts as follows: Samuel Calloway, a deputy under Clerk Fred France; Myron D. King, of Indianapolis, and Harry Grube, of Plymouth. Former Attorney General Evan Stotsenberg, of New Albany, is being urged to make the race for that position, but has not definitely decided. Edward Barrett, of Plainfield, probably will have no opposition for the nomination of State Geologist. J. J. Moran, of Portland, is also without opposition for judge of the Supreme Court for the Fort Wayne District, while John C. McNutt, of Martinsville, and Judge James Vandiveer, of Princeton, are seeking the place of Judge John W. Spencer, of Evansville, who will retire from the Supreme Court bench the first of next year. Headquarters was crowded today with candidates and their supporters lining up their fences for the contest tomorrow. Tonight the delegates will meet by congressional districts to select the various commithteemen. The most important committee will be that on resolutions, which will draft the platform. These committees will meet later in the evening and prepare the program fo.' the convention. Chairman VanNuys has received secera) drafts of platforms and says the writing of the platform will be a comparatively easy task this year.

STOMACH TROUBLES ARE DUE TO ACIDITY Telia Safe, Certala, Speedr Relief Arid Iadls-eatlo.
So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, sas, sourness, stomachache and inability to retain food are In probably nine cases out of ten. simply evidence that excessive secretlonj of acfd is taking: place in the stomach,' causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes; that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid Irritates and inflames th delicate lining of the stomach. Th trouble lies entirely in the excess de-5 velopment or secretion of acid. i To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and. to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful o bisurated magnesia, a good and effec-f tlve corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas. sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and Is perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use. $ An antiacld. such as bisurated magnesia which ran be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form enables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of ar tificial digestions. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia which is especially prepared for ths above purpose. Adv.
